Jul 10, 2012 at 11:48 comment added Sean Tilson Sometimes Borel cohomology is not the right equivariant theory though. I was assuming he was looking at some $RO(G)$ graded theory. Maybe that could be clarified in the original question. Maybe it is obvious to the relevant parties though.
Jul 9, 2012 at 22:38 comment added Chris Gerig @Ben, this is standard notation for equivariant cohomology, $H_G^\ast(M)=H^\ast(M_G)$ where $M_G$ is the Borel construction.
Jul 9, 2012 at 22:15 comment added DamienC What does this mean when $G/H$ is not a group ?

Jul 9, 2012 at 21:59 comment added Ben Webster Could you explain the notation $H^*_{G/H}(M)$?

Fixed latex, removed group-cohomology tag
Jul 9, 2012 at 21:38 comment added user15512 Assuming that the cohomology is with rational coefficients, I am hoping for some relation that would determine the ring $H^*_{G/H}(M)$ in terms of $H^*_G (M)$ and $H^*_{G/H}$. For instance, when is $H^*_{G/H}(M)$ isomorphic as rings to $H^*_{G}(M)\otimes H^*_{G/H}$ ?
Jul 9, 2012 at 21:25 comment added Yemon Choi What kind of relationship do you want? (I am not being flippant; it sometimes - often? - pays in mathematics to have some idea of what one hopes to be true, before one tries to invent or look up a proof.)
